Deep Learning
(DL) is a type of
machine learning
based on neural
networks that
requires less data
pre-processing by
humans more
accurate results than
traditional ML
approaches
Artificial
Intelligence (AI)
is the ability of a
machine/software to
perform cognitive
functions such as to
see, listen,
understand and
reason
Machine
Learning (ML)
refers to algorithms
that detect patterns
and make predictions
by processing data,
rather than by explicit
programming; ML
has powered recent AI
advances

17. ● Application of AI/ML/DL to complex business
problems by performing predictions, making
recommendations, providing insights, driving
automation and engaging in natural language
● Typical business objectives are to enhance
customer experience, scale revenue, increase
employee productivity and mitigate risk
● Different use cases from consumer facing
applications, but they do overlap!

25. ● Requires deep understanding of business
domain and processes along with skilled
resources
● Data keeps growing at scale, but, labeled data
is expensive
● Enterprise AI needs to learn from less data
● Machine-learned models begin degrading as
soon as they’re deployed and must adapt to a
changing environment
● Protection of data and insights is paramount
for enterprises
● Decisions and recommendations need to
traceable, explainable and fair
Barriers to enterprise AI adoption

“85% of AI projects will
deliver erroneous outcomes
due to bias in data,
algorithms or the teams
responsible for managing
them”
-Gartner
26. ● Start with a clear focus on business
strategy and objectives
● Create a strong data and digital
foundation
● Set criteria for moving pilots to production
● Focus on workforce transformation and
change management
● Adapt processes used in software
development such as Agile to AI/ML
product development
Planning your enterprise AI journey

“Creating a solid AI product
that provides either customer,
employee, operational or
investor value is about 40%
problem and product
definition, 40% data sourcing,
cleaning, filling, and merging,
and only 20% algorithm
development.”
